“
I am The Wave 103.
”
— slogan in GTA Vice City Stories

Wave 103 (styled as The Wave 103 in Vice City Stories) is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The station is hosted by Adam First in the former and by Adam and Trish Camden in the latter. Wave 103 features New Wave and Synthpop music.

The name of the station is a reference to the radio station Wave 102 in Dundee, Scotland, the original birthplace of the game's design company Rockstar North. Coincidentally, during the 1980s and early 1990s there was a Pop/New Wave format radio station in Miami, Florida, the city that Vice City is based on, named WAXE (pronounced "waxy") 102.7. The name may also allude to the New Wave music on the station's playlist. There is another radio station named Wave 105 which broadcasts in Southampton, England.

Trivia

  • Wave 103 is one of two preferred radio stations tuned in by the Streetwannabes, the other station being Flash FM. Wave 103 can be heard after Tommy or Vic carjacks their gang vehicles.
  • On the European version of the Wave 103 soundtrack CD, "Japanese Boy" by Aneka is included, even though the song instead appears on Flash FM.
  • "Pale Shelter" by Tears For Fears is also featured in the GTA clone, Sleeping Dogs. "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls is also featured in the same game as a karaoke song.
  • The version of "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo that plays on the station is actually the instrumental version, the one without lyrics.
  • "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls was featured in the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the Vice City trailer for the Xbox version of Grand Theft Auto Double Pack.
  • "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood is also featured in the GTA Clone, Saints Row: The Third.
  • "Don't Go" by Yazoo plays in the background at the beginning of the cutscene of the mission White Lies, so does inside the White Stallionz Bar during the mission The Bum Deal.
  • In the 10th Anniversary Edition of GTA Vice City, this is the only radio station from which none of the songs are removed.
